My friend Chris (the one with the 126 and the 169) and I took a short road trip today to meet up with member 782CC (Tim) and pick up a couple tractors from him. Always cool to meet fellow members. I had expressed interest in dual stick quietline tractors in a post I made last fall, Tim had a dual stick 1250 he wanted to sell. Distance kept the deal from going through. Recently, he contacted me and said he would be going through Illinois on a trip and could bring the tractor along. I thought that was a great deal! Before it was all said and done, he (somewhat easily I might add) talked me into a very nice 682 that he also was done using.
So, I am now a proud owner of a seemingly rare 1250 dual stick, and a nice, red, IH built 682! (All the parts came with the 1250, just not assembled.)
Here is a shot of them once we got them unloaded at home. (I'll post better pics later, we were in a hurry.)

Sorry, no pics of Tim and I.
Tim: After all the pm's, e-mails and texts, it was great to finally shake your hand! I appreciate the effort you put into bringing the tractors this far. I wish you safe travels on the rest of your trip, and enjoy your time with your brother. Thanks again!
